Yeah, like waiting until you're an old git like the rest of us!

David (who never had a Sprint until he was 29)

August '75 - fantastic record!!!!!

I have owned YDP300T from new in December '78. Sold a white Vitesse convertible and a 1500 Spit to buy it. Wish I had kept them; would make a good fleet of white Triumphs.

I can't see Aug '75 being beaten...........am I second?

John Orr

Or this David who never had a sprint until he was 35. I reckon I'm up there in the shortest ownership, but I'm trying to use Aluns approach of adding up the time I have owned each dolly to make my figures more credible, but it will take a while.

My shortest Sprint ownership was about 8 days..if that....is that anywhere close?

There's some good responses coming here guys - keep it up!

Mike

why'd ya get rid of it so quick - or was that how long it took to convert it to a pile of bits?

Because I saw the chance to a) Make a bit and b) well.....I don't know really - Lack of parking was the prime issue but I could have sorted that but in reality just having another car at that moment was not convenient or sane for me....

Picked up another one soon enough anyway

Sanity doesn't really come into it after a while does it, and you would be amazed at how creative you can become witha small amount of space....tell them about whats in your garage tinweevil.....
